Answer 1

Well it looks like setImageViewUri caches images and does not refresh them if the have the same name.

Not the most elegant solution but it works, every second time it will use a different file name.

String filename = new String("bitmap-1.png");
// rotate files, due to not being refreshed if same name 
if ( context.deleteFile(filename) ) {
   filename = new String("bitmap-0.png");
}
FileOutputStream out = context.openFileOutput(filename, Context.MODE_WORLD_READABLE);
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 80, out);
file = context.getFileStreamPath(filename);
out.close();
updateViews.setImageViewUri(R.id.image1,Uri.parse(file.toString()));
